GTO SL-2000, SL-1000 Solar Zones and Gate Activity, Estimated Maximum Number of Cycles Per Day

INSTALLATION OF THE GTO TRANSFORMER CONT.

2)If the gate is binding or dragging, or if ball bearing rollers are not used, it will require more than 10 amps to move it. This will reduce the MNC.

3)The charts are based on the transformer being plugged into an outlet that provides a line voltage of 120 volts; if the outlet provides less than 120 volts (for example, some rural areas may only provide 105 volts), it can reduce the MNC by as much as 50%.

4)A fully charged standard battery has an inherent reserve of 20-50 cycles without requiring a charge. This allows peak loads at several points during the day, depending upon how much time the transformer has to provide a charge to the battery between cycles. The transformer is capable of fully recharging the battery in as little as five minutes at optimum conditions.

5)The charts on page 16 are based upon an ambient temperature of 40¼ F. Battery performance and speed at which it will recharge will fluctuate based upon temperature.

6)The MNC for dual gate applications will be about 50% less of those for a single gate.

IMPORTANT:

¥The GTO transformer is intended for indoor use. If the transformer can only be plugged into an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof housing or cover (available at electrical supply stores) must be used.

¥Use of a surge protector is highly recommended.

¥Optional Solar Panels are available from a GTO dealer; see Accessory Catalog.

¥The GTO/PRO 24 Amp Hour Battery Kit is required for the SL-2000 in solar applications, see Accessory Catalog.

NOTE: If your are considering using the GTO solar panel to maintain the system battery charge, please see the following chart:

SL-1000, SL-2000 specifications

The GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000 are advanced gate operators designed for efficient and reliable automation of heavy-duty swing gates. These models are renowned for their robust construction and innovative technologies that enhance both performance and security.

The SL-2000 is particularly suited for large, dual-swing gates weighing up to 2,000 pounds, making it a perfect choice for commercial and industrial settings. In comparison, the SL-1000 is designed for lighter gates that weigh up to 1,000 pounds, suitable for residential and light commercial applications. Both models are engineered to provide smooth, quiet operation, which is vital for residential areas where noise reduction is essential.

One of the standout features of both the SL-2000 and SL-1000 is their advanced DC motor technology. This allows for variable speed operation, providing a slower, more controlled movement during the opening and closing cycles. Such functionality not only enhances safety but also minimizes wear and tear on the gate mechanism, ensuring longevity.

Both models are equipped with obstacle detection technology that halts the gate's movement if an obstruction is encountered. This safety feature helps prevent accidents and damage, a critical aspect in environments where individuals and vehicles are present.

In terms of installation, the GTO SL series is designed for ease of use, featuring a straightforward setup process with clear instructions and minimal tools required. Additionally, the SL-2000 and SL-1000 include a built-in rechargeable battery backup, ensuring that the gate operates even during power outages.

Security is a top priority with both gate operators. They incorporate rolling code technology in their remote controls, which changes the access code with each activation, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Furthermore, the SL series supports multiple remote controls, allowing for convenient access for users while maintaining security.

Durability is another hallmark of the GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000. Both operators are built with weather-resistant materials, ensuring they can withstand various environmental conditions. This resilience makes them a solid investment for long-term use.

In conclusion, the GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000 are state-of-the-art gate operators that combine cutting-edge technology with superior safety features, making them a reliable choice for enhancing the automation of swing gates in diverse applications.
